Hello to those researching the descendants of Robert & Cecily CHANT.
Could someone please tell me who John CHANT born 1758 Stoke is the son of,
he married Jane FORD. I had him originally the son of Thomas (b 1710) &
Sarah. I now see him listed as the son of John & Dinah CHANT.
My info relating to John & Dinah is that they had the following:
Dinah 1762 West Chinnock bur 26/11/1769
Cecily bpt 7/4/1765 W/C married Benjamin Bargary 3/6/1793 W/C
Ann bpt 7/4/1765 W/C
George Bpt 17/5/1767
Joseph bpt 17/9/1769 W/C married Hannah GARD 4/11/1809 Chiselborough
Job bpt 21/2/1777 W/C married Susannah Fowler 11/10/1799 W/C
Bur 2/12/1832 W/C children:
John 1800 W/C
Mary 1801 W/C
Jemima 1803 bur 23/5/1805 W/C
Jemimah 1805 W/C bur 7/10/1850 W/C
Thomas 31/3/1808 W/C bur 30/11/1826
Ann 1810 W/C
Charles 1813 W/C bur 21/1/1838 W/C
Am I missing a John born to John & Dinah?
Also I have Robert CHANT born 1814 Alderney Gurnsey son of George CHANT &
Tamar HOPKINS, Robert buried 6/1/1888 West Chinnock. Robert married Mary
FOWLER.
In Kerry's tree there is a Robert CHANT born 1814 married Mary JOLEWAY and
buried 6/1/1888 W/C son of Robert CHANT 7 Maria SARTER.
Is this the same Robert and which are the correct parents??
Look forward to sorting out these couple of items
Regards

Hello Keith,
I have just had the chance to read your posting and go through my family tree and compare
notes, and have come up with a few differences that I thought I would run past you, and
perhaps get a few more details clear.
1) I have always had John Chant born 1758 the son of John Chant born 1727 and Dianah
Templeman. (until proved differently)
2) you have a few more children born to above, I would like more info about. i.e. Cecily
bapt. 7/4/1765 who married Benjamin Bargary (I have not come across this one before)
3) Job bapt. 1777 who married Susannah Fowler (I also have never seen this one before)
I would appreciate more info on these ?
I have listed below the children I found in the PR's for John & Dianah.
Dianah bapt. 14/12/54 (most probably died young)
John bapt. 16/01/56 (most probably died young)
Robert bapt. 16/01/57
John bapt. born 1758 married Jane Ford
Dianah bapt. 04/10/59 (most probably died young)
Dianah bapt. 29/08/62
Ann bapt 07/04/65
George bapt. 19/05/67
Joseph bapt. 17/09/69
(as you see, they were quite persistent about naming a daughter Dianah)
